The elephant at the birthday party

For those of you who like elephant stories, Eye has a friend whose birthday fell during an assignment in India. She has been given a temple elephant as a gift, which startled her. She felt sorry for the elephant and wanted to release her. But she was even more astonished when the animal, given a banana, proceeded to peel the fruit by fixing it into the corner of her mouth and massaging it with her trunk. She then ate the peeled fruit. 'I was pretty impressed', says our friend.
